A child from the other thread. Figured that it deserved a poll like the synths and plugins got. I tried to remember all that I can. So, if something's missing, ask a mod to add it. You get one choice. Choose wisely! MWA HA HA!

cubase is my fav. have used sonar, logic, reason and ableton live. but really, if i'd learnt sonar or logic instead of cubase i'm sure it would change my fav to one of those two, as their all quite solid.

I say Cubase, cause I've used it now for over 10 years (but, it still have some pains in the ashsoels). Second is Jeskola buzz, but favorite is a singular and that means just one..so overall, Cubase. I wish there was a hybrid between Buzz and Cubase/Sonar/Logic.

I also gave in to downloading a demo of Ablive, to see what it was all about..but I feel like a noob. Like writing with your left hand if you are righthanded.

I chose Live. I've abandoned the naive notion that a DAW could be as intuitive as something like photoshop (used to mess with that before getting into music) ... and learning to do things the Live way has been pretty rewarding ... and pretty n33t sometimes ... having previously come from the clunky behemoth that is MOTU Digital Performer.
